Hello,

We are using IntelliJ with a devcontainer on WSL,and I would like to know if it's possible to pre-configure some of the settings of the “distant” IntelliJ (like the language in the “Natural Languages”, the proxy configuration, …). Can I do this in the devcontainer.json file ? For the momment I was unable to find a documentation about this.

Thank for your help

Hello, Vianney Maynadier.

We plan to add a possibility to configure some of the IDE settings in the devcontainer.json file in the upcoming 2024.2 release; you will be able to set up the local IDE you use and copy these settings with one action to your IDE running in the devcontainer:

Unfortunately, we don't have documentation yet; it could take some time for our Technical Writers team to properly document this new feature as we have several hundred settings that could be configured via the devcontainer.json.
